Abstract: A storing and issuing device (11) for banknotes (12) and/or other flexible documents, for use in an equipment for the automatic processing of banknotes, in which the storing and issuing device includes a taking-up roller (50), a motor (60) for the taking-up roller, at least one transport belt (52) provided for wrapping on the taking-up roller (50) together with the banknotes (12) and holding means (53, 54, 79) actuatable for causing an entering banknote Bn(n) to be engaged with the transport belt (52). The storing and issuing device (11) comprises an electronic unit (65) for the holding means (53, 54, 79) and the motor (60) for the taking-up roller, for causing the entering banknote to be stored on the taking-up roller, with void space queuing providing substantial contact between the input edge of the entered banknote Bn(n) and the output edge of a last stored banknote Bn(n?1).

Abstract: An equipment (21) for the storing of values (23) as banknotes, checks and other documents in sack, comprising one or two filling and sealing units (26a, 26b) for a value sack or value sacks (24a, 24b) to be closed irreversibly, and which is coupled to an interface unit (31) of a deposit and withdrawal machine (22). A transfer safe (27) lodges the filling and sealing unit or units and the value sacks and an introduction unit (42) is connected with the interface unit (31) for transferring the values. The introduction unit (42) includes a stacking device (43) for the values (23) to be stored in sack, a bundling device (44) for bundling the formed stacks and a moving and transferring mechanism (46) for shifting the stacks between the stacking device, the bundling device and the filling and sealing unit or units. A method for making easier and accelerating the operations of account and transport of the stored values is also described.

Abstract: An equipment (43) for storing in an orderly way banknotes (52) and/or papers and the like, for instance banknotes (52) for an automatic machine (39), provided for the formation of a stack (53). The equipment (43) comprises two spiral elements (81; 82) defining coils with respective axes (83; 84) directed in the sense of the stacking and terminal sections (86) adjacent to a stacking surface (77) at an end of the stack. The spiral elements (81; 82) are rotatable around the axes (83; 84) and are arranged for laterally receiving between the coils a leading portion of the entering banknote (52), moving the banknote (52), through the coils and in consequence of the rotation, on the stacking surface (77), and disengaging the banknote from the coils adjacent to the terminal section (86).

Abstract: Automatic machine (26) for the deposit and withdrawal of cash, assisted by operator, comprising an input port (33) for a bundle of banknotes (36), a separating device (37) for the bundle of banknotes, a validation device (38) for banknotes separated from the bundle, an output port (39) and an input/output opening (41) for a recycling store (52). The machine (26) has a structure of compact dimensions for use in a banking workstation and comprises a third transaction port (43), for instance a reject/unfit port, and a moving mechanism actuatable for transporting the banknotes from the input port (33), and through the validation device (38), to the output port (39), or to the reject/unfit port (43), and/or to the input/output opening as function of dispensing of the banknotes.

Abstract: Equipment for processing banknotes in stack, as an example for a banking deposit, including a transport mechanism for banknotes or similar sheets, and a receiving section the banknotes or sheets are transported at a given transport velocity (Vt) and the receiving section is arranged downstream of a section of the transport mechanism for receiving, in superimposition, the banknotes or sheets. The equipment comprises an interface mechanism with nipping members interposed between the transport mechanism and the receiving section and electronic control circuits which cause the nipping members to slow down the banknotes or sheets of the receiving section at a reduced velocity (Vb), in response to information of transit of the banknotes or sheets, making easy a regular stacking of the banknotes or sheets.

Abstract: Equipment for the automatic deposit and withdrawal of banknotes (31) comprising a store safe (36) and a series of banknote receipting and dispensing modules or boxes (32-1, 32-2, . . . 32-N), and in which each module comprises a collecting seat (78) and an insertion and extraction device (79) for the banknotes. The receipting and dispensing modules or boxes are mounted with individual possibility of shifting in the store safe between an internal operative position and an external service position. At least one of the receipting and dispensing modules (32n) is a removable module and includes a container or recycling cartridge (111). The recycling container is removable and is assemblable with respect to the insertion and extraction device (79) in the position of service of the module and defines the collecting seat for lodging a stack (83), with arrangement of the banknotes (83) substantially in vertical.

Abstract: Receipting and dispensing module (32-1) for equipments of automatic deposit and withdrawal of banknotes including a banknote seat (234) for storing banknotes (32) with arrangement in superimposition and subdivision in two banknote stacks (238f and 238r) and a couple of insertion and extraction devices (241f and 241r) for the insertion and the extraction of the banknotes. The banknote seat (234) is usable by each banknote stack and the insertion and extraction devices are arranged at the ends of the banknote seat. The module (32-i) comprises an input-output passage (82) and a diverting member (246) controllable for causing the banknotes to transit between the input-output passage (82) and one or the other insertion and extraction device. Guiding and moving elements (247) are provided for guiding and moving the banknotes between the diverting member (246) and one (241r) of the insertion and extraction devices (241f and 241r).

Abstract: An equipment (22) for the automatic deposit of banknotes (23) comprising a transaction port (33) for receiving a stack (24) of banknotes, a separating device (36) for separating the constituting sheets of the stack (24), a validation device (37) for discriminating the constituting sheets as recognized banknotes and constituting sheets not recognized, a transport mechanism (38, 39) servo-dependent on the validation device to drag said constituting sheets along differentiated paths (72, 73) for the recognized banknotes and the constituting sheets not recognized, and a box assembly (51) adjacent to the transaction port. The box assembly (51) includes two storage boxes (53, 54) and is shiftable among at least three different positions.
